Opening Stuff.
How 'bout them Bruins! This has always been a Hockey First area, and now we have a our champions back. Personally, I think it was last nights beautiful moon that got them over the hump.
The US Open teeing off today looks like a good one!

Reason #237 Why it is tough to Believe anything the President Says Department:
When the Prez was running in 2008, he made a big part of his pitch decrying the appointments of big campaign donors to Government posts. In denouncing this practice, he took dead aim at Bush. It turns out that in just two years (According to independent analysis -- Center for Public Integrity -- of big donor. "Bundler" appointments), he has made more of these appointments than Bush did in four years. As a candidate 0-Man said, "The Cynics the lobbyists, the special interests who've turned our government into a game only they can afford to play. They get the access while you get to write a letter. It's time for that kind of politics to stop."

If there was ever a 1999 moment it was yesterday with the Pandora IPO. How similar to the "irrational exuberance" days of the end of the 20th Century. This company lost $93 Million last year. But, the big traders make lots of dough at the offerings, regardless of value. And then later, the principles cash out and the stock prices drift downward. The initial issue yesterday was 15 Million shares. It's trading volume yesterday was 45 million share. That means the first and biggest insiders bought the 15 Million and then sprinkled them around. They were gobbled up at higher prices and the process was repeated again. The price zoomed up because people wanted a piece of the action. And because big traders can makes tons of dough quickly. But, the company accomplished nothing. And who knows if it ever will. The moral of the story...regular investors should not get on board now, unless they just like to give their money away.
Grilling lobsters might be the best taste treat. Even though I am one of those purists who believes that everything about lobster cooking and eating should be simple. Par boil a couple of lobsters for about 7-8 minutes. Remove from water and cut in half. Expose meat in claw. Place on medium heat grill shell side down. Baste meat with butter and salt and pepper. Cover with aluminum baking dish. Remove several times for basting. Cook about ten minutes. There are other ways of killing and cooking, but this is simpler, and maybe less emotional!
In the latest "Direction America Is Going" polls, CBS Poll says 60% don't like direction, ABC/Wash Post 66% and Rasmussen 64%. This is not giving me a lot of confidence.
How hard is it to figure out that if the Housebuilding Industry a few years ago over built for a market that never really existed, and all of those homes are sitting there with nobody in them, then the chance of the industry bouncing back could be several years away?
The new report says that woman are catching up to men in the lifespan department. Maybe I should say catching down. They say female lifespan averages are declining because women are smoking more. (?) Personally I feel it is becasue the cycle that began with women entering en masse into the business world is entering phase two -- Older age and retirement. The woman lifestyle changed significant beginning in the seventies. Well, that's my story and I'm sticking with it.
One of the great myths is that bigger lobsters aren't as tender as the smaller lobsters.
Of course, hypocrisy in American is primarily the game of the media. The politicians don't understand what the word means.

I promised a better day for Tids, but I'm thinking I was actually meaning tomorrow.
